In a power plant scale fusion reactor, a huge amount of thermal power produced by the
fusion reaction and external heating must be exhausted through the narrow area of the …

We present the first analysis of the atomic and molecular processes at play during
detachment in the MAST-U Super-X divertor using divertor spectroscopy data. Our analysis …

This paper is part of a series of publications concerning the development of the European
DEMO during the Pre-Concept Design Phase (2014-2020), and also describing the strategy …

Recent results from MAST Upgrade are presented, emphasising understanding the
capabilities of this new device and deepening understanding of key physics issues for the …

We developed a first single null divertor scenario for EU-DEMO with the SOLPS-ITER code,
including all charge states of D, He and Ar in the simulation and kinetic analysis of the …

To make predictions for and design fusion reactors, a multitude of physical processes must
be considered. In the edge and scrape-off layer (SOL), turbulent fluctuations intertwine with …

The tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) continues to leverage its unique sha**
capabilities, flexible heating systems and modern control system to address critical issues in …

Plasma-molecular interactions generate molecular ions which react with the plasma and
contribute to detachment through molecular activated recombination (MAR), reducing the …

Numerical simulations explore a possible tightly baffled, long-legged divertor (TBLLD)
concept in a future upgrade of the tokamak à configuration variable (TCV). The SOLPS-ITER …

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the preliminary divertor design and
plasma exhaust scenario for the reactor-class Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production …
